SUMMARY

Participants debate the implications of using avatars sourced from the internet, with some suggesting that Ivan's use of a Google Images avatar does not constitute a unique identity. The conversation shifts to humorous banter about avatars and personal identity, ultimately downplaying the seriousness of the copyright claim.

Well as I pointed out, both Dr. Dave and Seeking really are sinister in their avatars.

Heh, no, I thought he was saying that he used this avatar before. I knew it wasn't Dave. :biggrin:

is the reason why this post:

Of course. What sinister mad scientist genius would not want to be surrounded by a cadre of sexy lab assistants, robotic sexetaries, and sexy female agents, scouts and assassins who also provide physical companionship and personality cult worship as part of their devoted servitude?
